Candy buffets are the perfect way to have your guests make their own favors!

This would be perfect for either favor boxes or bridal party gifts if you choose to give them.
Rice Krispy Tree(t)…
Everyone Loves Rice Krispy Treats. So Why Not Have A Rice Krispy Tree?
Want to think outside the cake box? Instead of having an expensive cake, make a Rice Krispy tree! You could also use these as centerpieces or as something special on a dessert buffet.
This would be a very easy (maybe time consuming) Do-It-Yourself project, and could also save you tons of money!
What you’ll need:
A pot(to use as the base), styrafoam for the middle (think tall cylinder shape or better a tree shape if you can find one), tissue paper (in your wedding colors), wooden popsicle sticks, your favorite rice krispy treat recipe, and chocolate to dip them in.
What I’d do:
Bake your treats like normal. After baking, either cut them into circles or form them into balls. Next, stick a wooden stick into each of the Rice Krispy Treats. After you’re done with that, dip them into chocolate (the kind you put on ice-cream that hardens when frozen), and stick in freezer.
After the chocolate has hardened in the freezer, take them out. Wrap each cookie with tissue paper around the base of the stick, but allowing the cookie to show. Place stick into the styrafoam middle. Work your way up until you have your tree! As you work your way towards the top of the tree, start facing cookies up to form the shape of the tree.
Wa-la! You now have your Rice Krispy Tree!
Note: This rice krispy treat idea was my own, but the inspiration came from this picture found at: A Bride In The Making. I am not sure if tree shown is actually rice krispy treats or cookies, but if I were to make it, that’s how I’d do it. Happy baking!
P.S. Used with yellow tissue paper, this kind of resembles a sunflower look, doesn’t it? 🙂 Whoa.
Sunflowers & Billy Buttons…
Running out of dough but still want to add more touches of yellow for your wedding day?
Instead of begging everyone you know to start planting sunflower seeds in hopes you’ll be able to have more sunflowers at your wedding, why not take a trip to the craft store instead?
Think about using sticks or some sort of flower wire, to poke into styrafoam balls, which you could spray paint yellow and place into vases! They could look like faux billy-button flowers!

PartySugar…
One of my favorite sites for all things food, recipes, and dinner hosting is www.yumsugar.com.
PartySugar was able to attend a preview of DIFFA’s Dining By Design, a fundraiser hosted by Elle Decor. Of the many tablescapes she encountered and posted on Yum Sugar, this was my very favorite. Take a look!
To see more of the tablescapes she was delighted to see, go HERE.
Baseball Yumifications…
Still not decided on how to bring a little touch of baseball into your wedding?
Why not give out chocolate baseballs as your favors? You could easily dress them up in different kinds of containers to flow with the black/white/yellow sunflower theme, and when they open the container your love of baseball will be a hit, as everyone loves chocolate!
